Jenn A. S. GLANS, of

county, lllinneso'ta, reinvented certain new and useful Irnovernents in Planes, of which the following i s specification.

invention relates to carpenters planes; theobject of the invention is to improve locking the I e ennpliiy the mechanism for l n the stock and ad usting 1t lengthwise an; laterally therein.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line .1; a: ig. 2. e is a similar view with the hit break-iron or blade removed. Fig. 5 is 9. detail view illustrating the locking de vice its unlocked position. i 6 is a ler view showing the locking device in Fig. 7 is a detail secl view illustrating the position of the 1g device beneath the bit and indicating tted lines the unlocked position of the Fig. 8 is a detail view of the device turlinel verticel sec t1 n'iv invention.

for rockin or oscillating the bit on the he tl'ie stoc Y to aline its'cutting edge with the sole of the stock.

in the drawings, the lane. I have shown plied to a smoothing-plane; but it will he understood that it is applic: ble to any other type. The stock is rovided with theusual mouth 3, nose 4, and with a handle 5, that is 2 represents the stock of my invention apention consists in. various constructions 3 ecillcation of Letters Patent.

invention consists in provrd a a l,

adjustable at its lower end on the stool: by means of e slot e and set-screw *Z,

8 represents the inclined bed of the stock wheneon a sleeve 9 is adjustable by means of a tongue 10, havinq a slot 11 and a set-screw 12, which passes through said slot into said bed. By loosening said screw the sleeve can be moved up and down from or toward the mouth of the stock. Within said sleeve a pin 13 is arranged to fit snugly and has partial revolution therein and is provided with en operating-lever 14, which. projects through a slot 15 in said sleeve. The upper end of the pin 13 is provided with a head 16, eccentrically rnou .ted on the end of the pin and elongated in form end adopted to project through cow o 'nglyshaped slot 17 in the bit the ureeleiron. One end oi? the slot 15 is provided with an upwardly-turned extension 18, which causes the pin to slide upwardly in the sleeve and raise the head 16 shove its normal position, and when the lever 'l-l is moved into the end 18 of the slot 15 the head 16 will he turned, so that it will ooihcide with the slot in the bit and break-iron and allow them. to be removed from the plane] 'When-the handle lei is turned tohe middle oil the slot 15, the pin 13 drawn, down and the how izu fined L 'l V l b angles, to the slot in ..1e hit and sh iron and. bearing on the brealoiron draw it end the bit down firmly upon the of the plane and hold them securely in hot position. The head being eccentricallv lounted on the pin, it follows that whenever the lever 14 is moved to one side or the other ofthe middle of the slot l5 hit and hrealoiron willbe moved lengthwise to pro- -ect or retract the cutting edge of the bit. In

this way the person using the tool can very 5 adjust the bit with re spect to the sole of the stock to adapt it for the wood that is being planed. l fhcnever desired, the operator can throw the lever 14 into the end 18 of the slot and release the clamp on the hit and allow its removal, 1i desired, from the plane.

easily and quickly The bit and breakiron are preferably secured together by means of the thuin screw 19.

It is desirable in a device of this kind to provide some means for alining the cutting edge oi the bit with respect to the sole of the plane, either raising or lowering one corner to compensate for any slight irregularity that may be produced. in the cutting edge through the operation of sharpening it, i: therefore Erovide a rectangular slot 20 in hit and e esring 21 on the upper edge of the handle for a pin 22, that fits within theysiot and has its ends arranged to been? on the sides of the slot. The bearing 21 has a. earn-Mot 23 formed therein, and e ieverfiemouuted oi; the pin 22' projects through said slot end bears on the sides of the same. When, there fore,'this lever is moved in. said siot, the pin 22- Will be given a slight iengthwise movement to Import an oscillating or rocking movement to the bit. A very slight movement oi the Eever 24 will be sufficient to oseiiiate the and eline its cutting edge with respect to the sole of the plane.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination, with e pione-stoek provided with a bed, of e sieeve having a, tongue adjustebiy secured on said bed, apin fitting within said sleeve end provided on i one end with on eeoentrieoliy-rnounted head,

a bit having e slot to receive said head, and
